sherman,s DcteslabIs Doctrine.

Senator Sherman's Presidential plat
form is well designed to aiienate the
support Of that conservative business
and financial element which has been
supposed to be his great reliance he
favors perpetual federal interference
with the affairs OF the Southern States
under the pretense Of protecting negro
suffrage, and he advocates 0 policy OF
bounty and subsidy, 80 that enormous
duties on foreign products may be
maintained for the alleged purpose OF
protecting American woFkmen. Asa
CONCESSION to consumers he would
abolish the sugar duty, but he would
dIstribute part Of the surplus as bounty
ia sugar producers for the pretened pur-
pose eofenabling them to pay their hands
high wages.
In brief, the Sherman platform is the
height Of paternalism, the opposite OF
the American system and the essence
of absoIutism. He proposes to reverse
Democratic method by which the peo-
/ pie, as far as is possible, do everything
for themselves and commit as little as
possible to the public authorities. He
would make the government, cen
tralized at Washington, the grand CEN
sof and almoner of the people, without
regard to the rights of States, the free
dom of industry or the independence
of the individual.
This platform of monopoly, protec'
ton and carpetbagism is not, however
lacking in cunning. 1t Is designed to
catch the attention of two elements il
our elections--the labor vote and the
Republican farmer vote-and to cement
them together by the jealous work o.
political jobbers, who foresee, in tht
vision of federal control of all things
opportunities for public plunder mort

during the Republican regime succeed

A Moose in Harness.

That was a true story of the man who

what a moose is will own that the fol-
! lowing account is equally as remark

A half-breed Indian In the Dead

huge moose, and uses him in farm
work. In the winter, when the moose
is hitched to sled and Is driven upon

steed into On enclosure with fence OF

turn, this privilege 10 not begrudged

WANTS A KICKER BAD.s

Frank Low, of Decatur, Illinois. has
been in the city few days. He was here
near two years ago and picked mp merely
courage enough to buy two and one-half
acres OF land in College Hill addition for
500 \ few days after his return home he
was wired an offer of 500 and sold out
thinking he did the proper thing. Yester-
day he took drive out TO. the hill looking
for the two and one-half acres he had
formerly owned. Behold when he arrived
at the corner the entire block was cover
ed with handsome residences and the en-
tire neighberhood formed part of the
great and wonderful metropolis of the
southwest He commenced TO figure on
how much he would have made by holding
on To il longer. When he had figured up
so, 600 and had not called all the numbers
he was seized with a strong desire to be
introduced to a first-class, nothing, ordin-
airy, but a strictly first-class kicker
Leaving the hill he passed along some of
the leading business streets and was
thoroughly astonished with the.wonderful
growth and more and more criticised his
judgment OF two years ago

ADJUSTMENTS
EMMA ABBOTT.


Ii was a large and cultured audience
that last night greeted the second appear
ance in Wichita of the prime favorite,
Emma Abbott. The opera presented, III
Trovatore," was accorded an enthusiastic
reception. Even with the imperfections Of
stage, scenery and house, this beautiful
production won applause after ap-
plause; the excellence of the company
more than compromising for the meagre-
ness of appointments. Growing in inter
est and splendor from first to last, the
fourth act formed the elimination OF one
of the grandest, if not the grandest operate
performance ever given here.
Miss Abbott appeared to excellent ad-
vantage as Leonora. one of her favorite
characters. Her grand aria in the first
act brought forth encores ''On rosy
wings in the last was faultless.

with supreme pleasure. Her voice is pure
and flexible, displaying a wonderful agil
ity in vocal pyrotechnics, while il the
ford passages is a succession of brilliant
roulades and trills Particularly pleasing
are her sostenuto tones in which this
gifted woman above all others excels.
Miss Annandale appeared as Azucena, a
character in which she is especially strong.
She has powerful and care
fully trained voice, and is possessed of
that decided dramatic power
which the proper rendition of this charac-
ter requires Montegriffo is a robust
tenor, clever actor. His solo at the finale
of the third act was enthusiastically re-
ceived. Pruett's beautiful barytone voice
completely captivated the audience.
his Tempest of the Heart being
especially worthy of the highest
and most favorable comment.
Broderick has an excellent bass voice but
the requirements of Fernando, the srole he
sustained were limited and the audience
can judge more of his ability further on.
The role of Innez was one that generally
is considered of minor Importance but I'M
der the skillful handling of Miss Bertram
1t became prominent.
The report that Miss Abbott would not
appear at both the matinee today and the
evening performance is incorrect,
as Miss Abbott and her entire company
will positively sing at both enter tain
ments "The Carnival of Venice" is one

RIGHT OF WAY.

Among men behave the right is concaded
To part of the road or part OF the
walk,
Or so much of the way as Is actually
naded,
For the passing of aich without halt or
balk.
But whin they are ladies-God bless the
dear witches
If six or dozen you meet on the way,
You must make flank movement around
by the bitches,
Like Shirman of old whin he marched
to the Say.
For linked arm in arm, and all of thin
talking,
They challenge your rights, if rights you
may have!
No gintlemen, thin, whin ladies are walk
Will contind for a fut, but the whole of
it lave.
For haven't I met thin in droves, the
swate cratures,
Whin had to retrate from the walk to
the mud:
If nothing Sardonic came over me features.
l am sure there was something that riled
up me blood.
Yet 1 wouldn't have any man sink to the
livil
OF the brute that wears bristles, to claim
what's his own:
But like true gintleman, always be civil
Whin he meets the dear angels in crowds
or alone.
